Dungy retires.

Jon gruden would have not won that super bowl if it was not for Dungy.

Maybe not, but Gruden did some things in his own right to that team that did win the Super Bowl.  And Dungy had a lot of help putting the team together.  Keep in mind that a large part of Tampa's defense, the strength of that team, was already in place before Dungy got there.  So he rode on some coat tails a little himself in that regard.

Dungy still had 5 starters on defense in his 2nd year that were there before.  They didn't have a lot of talent, the 4 years before Dungy got there they were 7-9, 6-10, 6-10 and 5-11.  Gruden had 9 starters on defense from Dungy in his Super bowl year.

It should be said that the Bucs faced the Raiders in the SB, so whatever credit you want to deduct from Gruden's accomplishment in Tampa would be made up for in credit for his old team making the SB.

Tony Dungy is a class act and the NFL will be poorer for losing his example.
